Starmering On

Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting can get it done in 16 minutes. They are old hands. Did Starmer say anything, or did he keep Streeting in silence until he felt like uttering, “You may go now”? We do know that Starmer was too weak to sack Streeting, thereby giving not the first proof that he was unfit to be Prime Minister.

The remnant Labour Left is an exercise in sentimental folly, but no one could any longer accuse it, should this be regarded as an accusation, of being somehow the Labour Party’s Enemy Within. No would could any longer deny that the Labour Party was now on its fourth successive Leader to have been treated as that Enemy by the entryist Blairite Right, with its limitless funds and with its peerless media connections. While the unions um and ah instead of disaffiliating, their bitterest foes display no such squeamishness.
